 ### ERR_MISSING_PLATFORM_FOR_WORKER
 
 The V8 platform used by this instance of Node.js does not support creating
 Workers. This is caused by lack of embedder support for Workers. In particular,
 this error will not occur with standard builds of Node.js.

+## Resolution Algorithm
+
+### Features
+
+The resolver has the following properties:
+
+* FileURL-based resolution as is used by ES modules
+* Support for builtin module loading
+* Relative and absolute URL resolution
+* No default extensions
+* No folder mains
+* Bare specifier package resolution lookup through node_modules
+
+### Resolver Algorithm
+
+The algorithm to resolve an ES module specifier is provided through
+_ESM_RESOLVE_:
+
+**ESM_RESOLVE**(_specifier_, _parentURL_)
+> 1. Let _resolvedURL_ be _undefined_.
+> 1. If _specifier_ is a valid URL then,
+>    1. Set _resolvedURL_ to the result of parsing and reserializing
+>       _specifier_ as a URL.
+> 1. Otherwise, if _specifier_ starts with _"/"_, _"./"_ or _"../"_ then,
+>    1. Set _resolvedURL_ to the URL resolution of _specifier_ relative to
+>       _parentURL_.
+> 1. Otherwise,
+>    1. Note: _specifier_ is now a bare specifier.
+>    1. Set _resolvedURL_ the result of
+>       **PACKAGE_RESOLVE**(_specifier_, _parentURL_).
+> 1. If the file at _resolvedURL_ does not exist then,
+>    1. Throw a _Module Not Found_ error.
+> 1. Return _resolvedURL_.
+
+**PACKAGE_RESOLVE**(_packageSpecifier_, _parentURL_)
+> 1. Assert: _packageSpecifier_ is a bare specifier.
+> 1. If _packageSpecifier_ is a Node.js builtin module then,
+>    1. Return the string _"node:"_ concatenated with _packageSpecifier_.
+> 1. While _parentURL_ contains a non-empty _pathname_,
+>    1. Set _parentURL_ to the parent folder URL of _parentURL_.
+>    1. Let _packageURL_ be the URL resolution of the string concatenation of
+>       _parentURL_, _"/node_modules/"_ and _"packageSpecifier"_.
+>    1. If the file at _packageURL_ exists then,
+>       1. Return _packageURL_.
+> 1. Throw a _Module Not Found_ error.
